I live close to Walkins Mill. Has both shade and sun. Hilly and flat areas in the almost 4 miles. Not ideal for fast bike riders. Trail needs fixed, could twist an ankle if running. But still great for casual cyclists, families, dogs and walkers.
This trail is in walking distance of my house so I have taken my bikes on it many times. Trail runs next to Line Creek most of the time. Scenic and a peaceful ride. Most of the time the path is wide enough for two way traffic.
I rode this trail on September 16, 2024. The signs on the trail are present but on "first look" can be missed by the uninitiated and once read are still slightly confusing. The signs are simply "waist high mile marker posts " showing directional arrows and text point to both access roads nearby (there are many!) as well as general trail direction. So read the signs carefully your first time out! The needed info is on these posts, albeit in a confusing manner.
The trail has "a few smaller hills" that should be considered closer to beginner level: they are not exceedingly long or tall for most folks. The majority of the trail trends as flat IMO.
The trail is fun to ride and certainly has scenic beauty. The trail path is a bit wider than I expected and the surface is in excellent shape at the time of my ride.
My greatest challenge was finding the zero mile starting point! The trail map on this web site, and on Google maps, are both technically incorrect. The trail's actual starting point is in the EH Young Riverfront Park parking lot, immediately east of the Argosy Casino property, next to the restrooms and the river. This park is also, by far, the best place to park anywhere on the southern part of the trail.
The trail is very conveniently close to the Hilton Garden Inn I was staying at.
The first mile is ok, starts around mile marker 11.2. Turned right. The trail is cement and in good condition.
The surroundings get better as you progress (counting down).
Once you get to MM 10, you are in an open field area, alongside a meandering creek.
I really enjoyed the portion past MM 9 all the way to MM 7.6 The trail transitions back and forth from cement to crushed stone.
The stone parts are good, but a little precarious in a couple spots.
Several small bridges that pass over the creek(s) are nice and in good condition.
The part that passes behind the football fields is cool.
I plan to revisit and park at the lot near MM 8 and adventure further down the trail.
Very nice trail that I rode a few miles on after connecting from the Line Creek Trail. I like the trail but the highway roar was too annoying for me. I did not complete it because of this. Great trail but too noisy. Traveling cyclist Facebook
I want to give this trail more than five stars! A lot of it is curvy and hilly through woods and along water. I can’t think of anything this trail lacks. I started at the trailhead at Waukomis Drive and road north, then turned back and rode south to the casino and back. This first couple hills got me a bit winded and it seemed it was mainly uphill going north. I rode on a Saturday morning threatening rain, I saw a lot of walkers but few cyclists. I relied on Trailink map to keep me on the trail. Super stoked to ride it again! Traveling cyclist Facebook
I turned off Line Creek Trail to check this trail out. It’s great for the locals to access the Line Creek Trail. It is very short but 5 stars from me. Traveling cyclist Facebook
Little Blue Trace Trail is closed between Bunch Road Parking and Fisher Road 2 1/2 miles north of the Fisher entrance because of bridge damage.
I love this trail and have frequented all parts of it for many years now. I’m so disappointed and frustrated that there are so many cases of break ins to the vehicles of those out on the trail. Just today I went to park at the Bly Rd. entrance and a sheriff was there because someone had broken into two vehicles while the owners were on the trail. At this point, the ONLY locations to park at IMO are the one by ColdStone Creamery and at Natural Grocers. By extension this is very limiting to which parts of the trail I will be walking on. So sad and frustrated at the escalation of this crime. User be very aware.
We enjoyed our first ride on this trail. Not a lot of people and went through pretty scenery. We went on the south route from the trailhead which was a slight climb and then north by road and found trail coming back though this app doesn’t show the connection. The north route is fairly hilly.
Love the trail But there are alot of bikers then walkers. The bikers tend to ride by you really fast so stay alert and listen to your surroundings. Wish they had there own lane.
